My experience with Gateway has been quite satisfactory. I ordered my GW 66V
with just 2 extras -- the modem and 16MB memory. I was told I would get it
in 3 weeks but was delighted to receive it exactly TWO weeks! This was about
a month and a half back -- around thanksgiving.

I did have a problem with my order though. I had ordered and paid for 16MB
memory but received only 12MB. Took me a while to reach customer support and
convince them that it was their mistake. They agreed to send me an extra 4MB
SIMM. To allow myself room for future upgrades, I asked them to send me 2
8MB SIMMS instead of the 4MB so that when I receive the 2 8s I could send
them back the 3 4s I already had.

I got the 2 8s last week but found that they cannot be used on the Micronics
motherboard that comes with the GW 66V. GW was well aware that I wanted the
2 8s for 66V but still sent them knowing that they could not be used. I
called them back to get a 16MB SIMM. But apparently 16s are in short supply.
I am settling for 4 x 4s.

I have not sent the 2 8MB SIMMS back (have 14 days to do it). I was
wondering if anyone has tried using these successfully on a MICRONICS
486 66VLB motherboard.
